No underwriting queue for the standard township permit bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the town. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount on your permit, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
Most applications generate the executed bond as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review; the application collects no credit information.
Submit the executed bond with your township permit application to the Town of Sterling. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
When you do work in a Sterling town road or right-of-way — a driveway tie-in, a road opening, a culvert, or other improvement that touches the public way — the Town of Sterling issues a township permit and conditions it on a surety bond.
The bond runs to the Town of Sterling as obligee. It guarantees that you complete the work to the town’s specifications and restore the road and right-of-way so the town is left whole. If you abandon the work or leave the road unrestored, the town can recover its restoration cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Contractors who finish and restore to spec treat this as a permit formality. Premiums start from $100; the application collects no credit information.
